SenseiX:while I agree on reasoning behind boosting local production I totally disagree with the implemention, Gej govt was insincere, more interested in giving permits to cronies to import rice than really encouraging self reliance, the reason people become wise is becos we learn from past mistake and adopt ideas that actualy work, Gej govt did not learn anything from IBB failed effort to boost rice production in the 80s/90s under the SAP programme, while IBB totally banned rice, Gej decided to partially ban rice and and introduce half hazarous policies that are extremely bureaucratic full of neocronism, access to much needed resources such as loans, fertilizer, seedings etc is an headache of wasted efforts on the part of the farmer. The fact is, for the govt to boost rice production the govt has to buy the product from the farmers at a premuim price, this is how Thailand became the largest producers of rice. The US and most western govt attain self reliance in food production by ensuring that no matter the situation e.g bad weather drought/floods, dieases/pest or price crashes on the international market etc the farmer is always fully compensated for his efforts, today every year Europe, US and every developed western govt uses subsidies to support their agriculture. Basically what I am saying is farmers not only need easier access to resources but they, more importantly need the govt to buy the haverst from them at a high premium encouraging everybody to go into farming until then the agricultural sector in nigeria will remain under utilized. if you know that the govt will pay you a top price for every rice seedling germinating on your farm regardless if drought or flood or pest or fulani man brings his cattle and destroys it even bankers will be fighting to become farmers, the programme just needs to be supported for a few years and b4 u know it rice is everywhere |

I THOUGHT THEY SAID THE SAINTLY CUSTOM BOSS WILL COME AND RESTORE SANITY TO THE NIGERIAN CUSTOM ,SO NOW INSTEAD GUARDING OUR BORDERS AND MAKING SURE SUCH BANNED PRODUCTS DON'T COME INTO OUR COUNTRY THEY OPTED FOR AN EASIER OPTION WHICH WAS LIFTING THE BAN .SO MUCH FOR THE MUCH TOUTED SAINT |

Re: Custom Boss Lifts Ban On Rice Import by Nobody: 7:55pm On Oct 08, 2015 |
Segadem: You are definitely ignorant. 70% of the rice you have been buying from the retail markets were locally produced and milled here in Nigeria. Did you even notice that the price of rice became lower than that of beans in the retail market for the first time in years? Nigeria was so close to self sustainability in rice production as the previous government imposed many levies on importations to discourage it. I give you till April next year, you definitely will see an astronomical rise in the price of rice as local producers will now stop producing and begin importing....that can never be a cheaper option! You can write this down! |
Re: Custom Boss Lifts Ban On Rice Import by JuanDeDios: 8:31pm On Oct 08, 2015 |
SenseiX:Your post is based on the misguided view that we produce enough rice. We don't. Imported rice is sold all over our cities, ban or no ban. The only thing achieved by the ban was enriching smugglers and denying government of revenue. That is, apart from creating a false sense of achievement for Jonathan and Adesina who ran the agriculture ministry by propaganda than anything else. |

comos: He could even come to OSUN. I will show him around. Some people are just dumb analysts. Empty heads with loud mouths.... That you don't know where government facts are located does not mean they don't exist...or must they put rice mills in all our houses before we know there are mills in Nigeria?

JuanDeDios: You really need to visit a few farms. Even in OSUN State, the quantity of rice being produced by one relatively unknown Ajogbe Farms will amaze you. Stop castigating Jonathan ignorantly....even if he failed in everything, rice production was a yes for him...you should get informed instead of this show of ignorance. 1 Like |

This is good I must say. The purpose wasn't to discourage local production. It's one of the measures to boast our IGR. I'm in support of the move. Thank God for the policy. It'll help reduce the cost of rice in the market. Am a trader, dealing basically on imported rice; Thailand, Vietnam, Indian, and basmati rice...During the period when the importation of foreign rice was banned, it grossly affected our market price. But watch out now that it has been approved, the price'll gradually reduce. CHANGE!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

If Ban is lifted on rice importation, then how do we expect the local rice production to boom. This is sabotaging the work of local farmers |

Segadem:Who told you that local production cannot meet the demand of the nation? Who conducted the research and when was the research conducted? Your blind support has obliterated your sense of reasoning. Do you know that if agricultural sector is well harnessed, 3 states ( Benue, Taraba and Adamawa) can feed Nigeria with rice and still export excess? What you don't know about, learn to be quiet. Blind support for anybody does not connote knowledge. Go and ask Oshiomole. Do you know that the aforementioned 3 states have been producing very high quantity of rice but since it is not processed ( parboiled), some Nigerians don't go for them? You really spoke as a Nigerian that has lived in only one region of the country. |
